Any Graduate Association member can rent this wonderful facility for holidays or short-breaks Madras Lodge volunteers – urgent request for help We currently have an urgent need to strengthen the pool of volunteers on the Committee which manages Madras Lodge. Without sufficient volunteers by the time of the AGM in June, there is a risk of being unable to offer bookings for 2020 and having to consider the overall future of Madras Lodge. Madras Lodge has been a great asset for the Graduates' Association and has been enjoyed by many members and their families over the years. Please help in any way you can so that future generations can continue to enjoy Madras Lodge.
